B Correct answer
Explanation

The earliest Ajanta caves (9 and 10) were constructed during the reign of the Vakataka dynasty, specifically under Emperor Harishena. The Vakatakas were patrons of Buddhism and supported the excavation of these rock-cut caves. The Chalukyas came later and built different cave complexes, while Cheras and Kshatrapas were not associated with Ajanta.
